    I'm stationed in North Yorkshire & need a trustworthy MOT shop

    Hi Hans. Welcome to "The Family". I can recommend a few garages for you depending how far you want to travel. I see you are based at Menwith on the A59 so the closest one to you is Skipton Road Garage in Harrogate on the skipton road opposite the school. Went to college with the owner so I...

    CRD coils on a Petrol KJ?

    Hi Jo6pack, Fitted some CRD springs to mine but it's not the V6 just the 2.4 Petrol but compared to the old knackered springs it is a great improvement. :smokin: http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47339

    Manual transmission question

    I too have the manual but an 02 and when I first got it I had big problems getting it into gear and it turned out to be the dual mass flywheel. Might be worth getting it checked before you getting another box and find out its not the box at all. I am also playing around with oils in the gerabox...

    Typical mechanical issues between 110k-140k on '02 Limited??

    If you have had your KJ for a while and kept up with the service schedule it shouldn't cause you any more problems than any other vehicle. Just keep up with the servicing and it should be fine. I have got a 2002 and keep having to throw money at it now and again but I also drive a Ford van which...

    Generator Bearing?..............

    Hi All, Just wanted to know if anyone's alternator (generator) has the "decoupler" on the pulley where the serpentine belt goes round? The decoupler is like a one way clutch instead of a fixed pulley. The reason being is that I have always had a very slight "tapping" noise when the engine is...

    Jack,Scissor,Bottle,HighLift or What?

    Here you go LibertyTC. Like I said earlier, I am not sure which the correct part number is but the photos show you what it looks like and it looks like it will use the same mounting point as your original scissor jack. Hope this is of some interest to you. Cheers, Steve :smokin:

    Jack,Scissor,Bottle,HighLift or What?

    Not sure of the ratings LibertyTC but I will take some photos for you at the weekend and post them for you. Until then, there are 2 part numbers on there - 52059343AB and 52059412AB. Not sure what they relate to but your local dealer might be able to check them for you. Hope this is of some use...

    Jack,Scissor,Bottle,HighLift or What?

    Wow! Can't believe you guys have a scissor jack! Mine (2002 Sport) comes with a bottle jack and wheel brace (lug nut remover) and extension poles etc all clipped into a plastic holder that bolts down under the rear passenger seat. Maybe you could see if your dealer can get one of those for you...

    Can you change to synthetic with over 100k miles?

    To be honest I can't even be arsed to read this myself but I am sure this will keep you entertained for hours.............. Or you could just change the oil............ More importantly is the earth really round? Or is it just a big conspiracy? And when you have proved that, you might want...

    Can you change to synthetic with over 100k miles?

    "Borrowed off another website to save me typing"............... Recently, we have seen the introduction of oil monitoring systems in some vehicles, most notably in General Motors and Mercedes vehicles (although I believe BMW may have a similar system as well). The systems do not all work the...

    Attaching Rear License Plate Securely

    Most of them are till you change them. You are allowed to sort of change them around a little bit so long as the letter size and spacing and colours stay the same within reason. Older cars (Pre '73 I think) are allowed silver on black. Motorcycle ones are a bit smaller but I sort of take the...

    Badge Adhesive

    X2 on the sign shop. I priced some up for mine a couple of years ago and they were like the equivalent of $180 for the 2x "Cherokee" and 2x "sport" badges so I got a sign shop to make them up in reflective white so they stand out in the dark! Love them and they cost me the equivalent of $20...

    Slow heater controls................

    Thankx all. I am thinking its a vacuum issue too but not sure where to start looking. Where is the vacuum reservoir situated? Is most of the hvac unit accessible from behind the dash without ripping too much of the interior out? Like I said its not a huge problem, more of a pain in the butt...

    Slow heater controls................

    Hi All, And a belated happy new year to you all. Just catching up on the forum and read the thread from slippry about his heater problem which reminded me about mine. It's not that big a problem, it's just one of those annoying little things that you keep forgetting about. Heater works fine...
